---
Redirectly is a simple URL redirect server that uses a simple INI file for
defining dynamic redirects.
---
## Install
```
$ gem install redirectly
```
## Docker Image
Redirectly is also available as a [docker image][docker]:
```shell
# Pull the image
$ docker pull dannyben/redirectly
# Run the redirectly command line
$ docker run --rm -it dannyben/redirectly --help
# Start the server with your local configuration file
$ docker run --rm -it \
-p 3000:3000 \
-v $PWD/redirects.ini:/app/redirects.ini \
dannyben/redirectly
```
### Using with docker-compose
```yaml
# docker-compose.yml
services:
redirectly:
image: dannyben/redirectly
ports:
- 3000:3000
volumes:
- ./redirects.ini:/app/redirects.ini
```
### Using as an alias
```shell
$ alias redirectly='docker run --rm -it -p 3000:3000 -v $PWD/redirects.ini:/app/redirects.ini dannyben/redirectly'
```
## Quick Start
```shell
# In an empty directory, create a sample configuration file
$ redirectly --init
# Start the server
$ redirectly
# In another terminal, access the server using one of the configured rules
$ curl -v something.localhost:3000
```
You should receive a redirect header:
```shell
# ...
< HTTP/1.1 302 Found
< Location: http://it-works.com/something
# ...
```
## Usage
Redirectly requires a simple INI file with redirect configuration details.
You can create a sample configuration file by running:
```shell
$ redirectly --init
```
This will create a sample `redirects.ini` file:
```ini
example.com = https://other-site.com/
*.mygoogle.com/:anything = https://google.com/?q=%{anything}
example.org/* = https://other-site.com/
*.old-site.com = !https://permanent.redirect.com
:sub.app.localhost/* = http://it-works.com/%{sub}
(*)old-domain.com/*rest = http://new-domain.com/%{rest}
```
For additional server options, see:
```shell
$ redirectly --help
```
The configuration file is built of `pattern = target` pairs, where:
- `pattern` - is any URL pattern that is supported by [Mustermann][mustermann].
- `target` - is the target URL to redirect to.
Notes:
- If `target` starts with an exclamation mark, it will be a permanent
redirect (301), otherwise it will be a temporary redirect (302).
- If `pattern` includes named arguments (e.g. `example.com/:something`), they
will be available to the `target` as Ruby string substitution variables
(e.g. `%{something}`).
